A new benchmark report by Know The Chain ranks the 20 largest apparel companies for their compliance with key workplace standards. Company scores for recruitment were low across the entire sector with few companies having clear guidance and or implementation strategies in place. Of particular concern was the lack of even basic audits of recruitment practice in supply chains.
The report references the Leadership Group as an example of companies working together to promote best practice.
